[English]

This is our first "The First Take" in three years.

Thank you very much.

Let's get started.

So, for this performance, we have a special band arrangement.

Yes.

With piano, percussion, and the strings section joining us.

Is everyone in the band ready?

Are you okay?

Is everything all set?

Alright.

Well then, everyone, let's have some fun.

Please listen to "Jupiter."

Everyday I listen to my heart

I am not alone

Deep within my heart, we are connected

Across endless time, the shining stars

Tell me of the miracle that brought us together

Everyday I listen to my heart

I am not alone

Embraced within the bosom of this universe

What can I possibly do with these two hands of mine?

Let me touch your pain, and gently close your eyes

There is nothing sadder than losing your dreams

Than the inability to believe in yourself

If loneliness exists so that we may learn to love

Then nothing happens without a purpose

Listen closely to the silence of your heart

If you call for me, I will go anywhere

I will take those tears of yours as my own

For now, just hold yourself close

And feel the warmth of life

None of us are ever truly alone

We are loved forever, exactly as we are

Live as you wish, toward a shining future

I will sing forever, just for you

[Japanese]

3年ぶりのファーストテイクです

ありがとうございます

お願いします

ということで今回は特別編成のバンドということで

はい

ピアノ、パーカッション、そしてストリングスの皆さんも入っていただき

バンドの皆さんも準備大丈夫でしょうか?

大丈夫?

大丈夫かな?

よし

ということで皆さん楽しんでいきましょう

それでは聴いてください　「Jupiter」

Everyday I listen to my heart

ひとりじゃない

深い胸の奥で　つながってる

果てしない時を越えて　輝く星が

出会えた奇跡　教えてくれる

Everyday I listen to my heart

ひとりじゃない

この宇宙(そら)の御(み)胸(むね)に　抱(いだ)かれて

私のこの両手で 何ができるの？

痛みに触れさせて　そっと目を閉じて

夢を失うよりも　悲しいことは

自分を信じてあげられないこと

愛を学ぶために　孤独があるなら

意味のないことなど　起こりはしない

心の静寂(しじま)に　耳を澄まして

私を呼んだなら　どこへでも行くわ

あなたのその涙　私のものに

今は自分を　抱きしめて

命のぬくもり　感じて

私たちは誰も　ひとりじゃない

ありのままでずっと　愛されてる

望むように生きて　輝く未来を

いつまでも歌うわ　あなたのために
